Welcome to Sparkles and Shoes second post on nude pumps. The first is from October 2012 and here cataloged how I wanted to buy a more expensive pair. While I do not think they need to be super pricey I still stick by what I said – nude pumps are a wardrobe staple and if you don’t have some I highly recommend putting a pair on the top of your shopping list.
Over the past year and a half I have tried on at least two dozen pairs of pumps from kitten heels to ones that I could barely take four steps in before I was about to fall. The problem, I have since realized with nude pumps, is that as you become tan and then pale the shoes do not match quite as well. The average pair, I have found, are a shade of creamy-blush-beige that tends to be universally flattering – one you find a shade then pick a shape and a heel height and you are good to go. Here are some of my favorites in every price range:
1) Dorothy Perkins Nude Patent Effect High Court Shoes $44
2) Maiden Lane Crystal Pointy Toe Pump in Nude Patent $59
3) Maiden Lane Crystal Pointy Toe Pump in Nude Snake $59
Miss Selfridge Gwyneth Point Heel $61
Charles David Nude Leather ‘Sway II’ Classic Pump $89
6) Vince Camuto Nude ‘Kain’ High Heel Court Shoes $130
Michael Kors Collection Sheila Dark Nude 18K Patent $185
Diane von Furstenberg Bethany Natural Saffiano Patent $325
9) Sergio Rossi Chichi Suede Pumps $595
Jimmy Choo Abel Patent Nude Pump $595
Christian Louboutin Patent Decollete Pumps $625
12) Gianvito Rossi Bari Court Shoes $715
There is a shoe for every girl at every price!

I have a great pair of nude t-strap pumps, but not regular ones. I’ve had the hardest time finding the perfect color, style and fit.

These display of nude pumps are tempting me to get a pair for myself =D
I like the one from Miss Selfridge and Jimmy Choo =)

I agree. Nude pumps are a staple! Mine are actually wedges from j crew factory. They’re probably my favorite pair of heels. The only problem is after a few hours of wear they really start to hurt. They’re pretty though, so it’s okay, haha!

my heart went straight to those last three 😉 i’m still on the lookout for a pair that blends in with my skin seamlessly… i always think those are the ones that look extra leg-lengthening and chic!

Wow, so many great nude pump options! I need a new pair for work, ones that are a little shorter and easier to walk up and down stairs in than the ones I currently have!

Those are all awesome! I actually don’t have a pair (which is obviously a problem for this shoe lover) but I love the ones you have listed as #2! I might have to invest soon 🙂
